"One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering."

There is enough for everyone. If we have what you need, and if we work hard for what you want, this absolutely does not take away the ability or opportunity for others to do the same.

There is plenty of goodness for everyone to be surrounded by it. There is plenty of money to go around in the world. There is plenty of love for everyone to be bathed in it. Sometimes it is somewhere different than where we are looking, but there is always always always enough...more than enough!

PLEASE, wonderful friend, PLEASE do not let yourself get tricked into the idea that if your dreams are coming true, or that your life is good, or that you have found peace....that it means that you took that opportunity away from someone else.

AND PLEASE do not let yourself EVER believe that because someone else is living the kind of life that you want to live, that “those kinds of lives” are all taken up....it just is not so! There is enough for you, too.

We all have our own paths to take to find what we are seeking. We are all meant to seek for different things! Just be who YOU are and let others be who they are. Cheer each other on. Support each other....remind each other that there’s plenty to go around.

Life is so good...and you are so loved.
xoxo

Do you hold on extra tightly to anything?

"Blessed are those who trust in the Lord.

They are like trees planted along a

riverbank, with roots that reach deep into

the water. Such trees are not bothered by the

heat or worried by long months of drought.

There leaves stay green, and they go right on

producing delicious fruit."

Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NLT)

I have had a special

love for trees ever since I was a little girl.

I was in 6th grade

when my siblings and I went to live

with our grandparents.

They had just built a beautiful brick ranch home that

sat in the middle of many old and very tall oak trees.

I remember being so thankful every morning,

for a secure and happy place to live,

as I looked out

of my bedroom window and saw

the beautiful tall trees blowing in the wind.They were always there, through the storms, in all of the changes through the seasons.They remained secure and growing as they reached up to the top of thesky to see the sun (SON).Just as I learned to do at that age, as I followed their example and looked to the SON, my Savior, my creator and loving Heavenly Father.

To this day, walking through the treesmakes me feel as though I could touch God as if he were right there painting a masterpiece and a word picture just for me.

If you are right in the middle of having toloosen your grip and let go of something, or fearing the possibility of having to let go in the future, remember you are not alone. God has a new song, a new season plannedjust for you... It may be scary now, not knowing what is ahead, but you can trust that His plans for you are good. We will never know His Best if we don't let go.

You are always invited to come over and sit under the shade tree with me.

I'll even make some sweet tea we can share.

I'm a much braver girl when I have a friend beside me.

Hugs,

Some wonderful words that encouraged me from Brenda Waggoner author of the book, "Fairy Tale Faith"
